Re: Press release for 2013 Central Pa Dirt Trackin Show

The 30th annual Central Pa Dirt Trackin Show is in the record books now and I survived my first year as the promoter/owner of the show. The show started out slow with snow on Friday afternoon which created many traffic and travel issues.

Thanks to all who braved the elements to come out and see the Ms Dirt Trackin contest. Thanks to all the contestants who made it to the show and congratulations to Brittany “Boots” Coleman for winning the crown. I know she will represent the show well.

Saturday was a much better day weather wise. The crowd was good all day with the vendors having a good day. We started a new tradition this year with racing seminars put on by 6 different speakers. All were very well attended and went well so we will build upon that for the 2014 show.

Saturday night we honored the track champions who were in attendance and we brought back an autograph session so the fans could get their favorite driver’s autograph. The were 19 drivers who signed autographs. The drivers who signed autographs were

Greg Hodnett, Jason Covert, Gene Knaub, Matt Wallace, Andy Fries, Adam Wilt, Frankie Herr, Greg Foster, Tim Wagaman, Jake Jones, Zach Eucalono, Jordan & Hunter Mackison, Chris Spidle, Craig Morgan, Brian Allman & McGruff the crime dog, Kenny Edkins and Misti Kopp. A big thank you to all who gave their time to sign autographs.

Saturday night the show hosted a very important Benefit Auction for a very special former driver Scott Ausherman who has been suffering from the effects of Frontal Lobe Dementia of the brain. This has left him unable to work and in need of 24/7 care which his wife Candi is giving him. With the efforts of many people the auction raised over $10,000 for Scott and Candi which was fantastic. Thank you to all who helped with the auction by donating, organizing or buying auction items.

Sunday was family day sponsored by Timberview Veterinary Hospital and Canine Rescue. We had dogs brought in which were available for adoption. It was a popular event and some of the dogs were adopted which was great.
The show wrapped up with the awards being presented Sunday afternoon.

It was a great show which we can build on and make it bigger and better for 2014. I would like to personally thank everyone who helped make this show a success in my first year.

Thank you to all the vendors, cars on display, my staff, the speedways in attendance, and all attendees of the show.
